Doctor's Appointment and Management System

Abstract

An online dr. appointment and management system shows to patients what time slots are available or not. It is time-efficient, provides transparency and helps the patients feel more informed and in control. As the online appointment booking system works 24/7, this gives freedom to potential visitors to book an appointment anytime they want. An online doctor appointment booking system can prove to be a boon to doctors and patients alike. For those among us who have seen the waiting room of busy doctors, it will draw memories of patients and their attendants crowding around the receptionist. It was not necessarily firstin and first-out. Many times it was based on who was able to throw their weight around and seize the opportunity to stride in to meet the doctor even before the earlier patient had walked out. In some cases tokens were given out that represented our number in the queue. The wait could be quite long and if the patient was not quick to mark her presence when called out it could mean a further wait. Patients being sick, there was always a high probability of the attendants also falling sick as everyone was crowding around each other. This evolved to a telephone-based appointment booking, mainly managed on paper. It was hardly flexible. No-shows were very common. With the advent of Personal Computers, appointments were maintained in the desktop. This certainly brought more order; however, appointments still required the patient to phone in to the receptionist to book the appointment. Widespread use of mobile phones and the internet has driven the need for doctors to offer the facility of online appointments – a far superior option for both doctors and patients. That’s why we were proposed our supervisor about this system and finally got the green signal and started our work on focus our goal. This system will be a friendly and will be more productive.
